ANOTHER SUICIDE.
A Young Travelling Man CANDLES,

Through the Heart,

A Young Travelling Man CANDLES,
Loses and CoOlly Shoots Himself
Through the Heart.
l.. 81. De Boer, a young man who
came to st. Paul about a month ago as a
travelling salesman for New York sill
yer and cutlery house, shot himself in
the breast in his room at 356 Cedar
street at $50 last night and died an
hour later. De Boer has been a
conspicuous figure and a heavy better
at the turf exchange ever since his ar
rival in the city. He played both horses
and base ball and was loser to the ex-
tent of about $500. When he came to
st. Paul and registered at the Claren-
don hotel May IA he had considerable
ready money and good position. He
made three short trips to neighboring
towns, but the gambling craze got the
better of him and he neglected his BUSH
ness entirely, resigned his position, and
rapidly lost all his money. He left the
hotel for the cheap boarding house
where he shot himself, pawned his dia-
monds, jewelry and other valuable per
sOnal effects, and bet everything at
the exchange, losing all. A
few days ago he was urged
by friend to bring suit to recover his
losses. and had promised to do so. His
losses brought on deep desponC ency,
and on Monday afternoon he purchased
the Smith 81 Wesson revolver with
which he. ended his life His room
mate, fearing The result, tried to induce
him to give it up, but he refused. He re-
tired to his room early yesterday after
noon, and at $50 the landlady heard
the report of the revolver and found him
lying on the floor with bullet wound
just to the right of his heart. The body
of the unfortunate young man was taken
to Donnelly's undertaking rooms. De
B0er was One-legged man and walked
with the assistance of crutch. His
family are residents of New York city.
and the remains will be held for their
disposition.

Identifying Himself.

They were talking about the cheek OF
tramps the other day when Woodward
avenue merchant said:
Two or three weeks ago tramp came
in and struck me for quarter. Two days
later he came again. La two weeks he
called on me five times, getting something
each time. finally turned to give him an
awful blasting, He listened to me quietly
and respectfully, and finally said;
MY excuse is that served my country.
"You soldier bahl'
But was sir, They have got me in

out to you. II you don't see me repre-
sented there you may kick me-"
"Well, said the merchant 81 took him
at his word and went over to the panorama
with him. He didn't hesitate at all, but
walked to the front and pointing to the
railroad gap he said:
"There | am, sir. !"
"Where?"
"Just to the right of that dead horse
"But that man is dead"
"Yes, sir. That is the battle was
killed in"

These loaves We knew, we're baked only

peasants family is like washing day on an
American farm, IN the respect that IL
comes at regular periods, We judged that
bread day in this cottage was approaching
from the fact that only six loayes remained
Of the original thirty or therebout
After our luncheon Ernestien took MS
through tho orchard to apicturesque stone
building, where the bread was wont to be
made. This building had once been part
Of an ancient abbey, and amid its ivy cov-
cred rains we could still trace iine sculp-
ture and bits Of armoral designs, but IN
side there was no trace OF art or arcbitec-
ture Ii was really va Norman hen house,
We saw several pairs OF sabots or wooden
shoes hanging from tho wall and looking
as If they had been wbitewashed.
In one corner Of the place was large
space inclosed with boards. This was
empty, but, like the sabots, it suggested
whitewash or mortar making.
Ernestino told us that this was the fam.
lily dough trough. Hither, once o month,
came her father and the hired man TO set
the yeast arising. Flour and water were
stirred together with the huge wooden
spades shaped like snow shoyols which
hung with the sabots upon the wall
When the mass, thoroughly beaten to-
gether, had risen and assumed dark coli
or and leathery consistency, then came tho
tug of war. The two men put ON the sab
OTIS over their ordinary shoes. jumped in
upon the dough, and began the kneading.
Their way was to hop aud prance and
flourish like opera dancers, to stamp and
kick like horses, exerting themselves till
the perspiration streamed of them and
they had no strength left. After this pro.
cess the dough was put into the pans, and
then baked in the huge oven at the rear Of
the abbatial hen house.
In all Norman towns half-clad men
may often be seen lounging about bake

and floury, and as they tread the streets
we know they have Just come from or are
returning to their usual occupation OF

Secret Valley CroakinEs.

We are in receipt Of a lengthy--too
lengthy for our columns-communica
ton from "a Star Valleyite" from
which we make the following interest
ing extracts.
Although our tongue for the last few
weeks has been modestly quiet, becom.
ing those who have nothing important
to communicate, we would not have the
industrious and sober people of this
best of counties to allow us and our
manifold interests to sink into ignomi-
NOUS oblivion. Since our last ELUSIVE
report to this grand metropolitan journ.
al, we have been necessarily and con-
scienciously laboring for the bread that
perisheth.'
Although we are a commercially
steady-going and industrious people in
our way, we inherit from our fathers of
Hlbernian memory a much to-be-la-
mented faculty or disposition to be gar
rulous, or to indulge i'll wordy warfare.
But possibly i'll this we are not worse
than our neighbors of more pious pre-
tentious.
Quite q commotion was cuuscd here
when Mi the right, title and interest of
the Arthur Postoifice was transferred to
us. At present there are but two per-
sons employed i'll changing and distrib-
uting mails ut the FAIR Play Postoftice.
II is hard for us satisfactorily TO &C
count for the comparatively slow growth
of the town of FairpI"y, although it is
located right in the mouth of large
and fertile valley and seems every way
situated to become in time II veritnble
mart of commerce.
Capricious Fortune seems to smile
munifcently upon all our farmers, and
some nre becoming SO puissant and al
rogant i'll their uuSmenting wealth rs to
contemplate tearing down their houses
and building greater.
We nre more than usually favored
this Summer by having an itinerunt di-
vine to lead our affections, which are
too prone to be placed upon the grovel-
ing and sensual things of earth, away
from that which is mere temporal and
terrestrial, and place them upon objects
and aspirations more celestial.
Some people of other parts, who are
less enterprising and less innovation
loving than we, might think snow and
hail in June somewhat inconsistent
with their strict notions of the propriety
of seasons, but not so with US. --..
AS lifting peroration to these isolated
animndversions, we would say that the
INDEPENDENT is tenderly loved by all in
this out-of-the-way vicinity, especially
rs we feast upon the pungent columns
called Salmagundi. With one voice we
would cry, Long live the INDEPEND.
